Los Angeles -LRB- CNN -RRB- -- Dionne Warwick , one of the most recognizable pop voices of the 1960s , filed for bankruptcy last week , citing more than $ 10 million in tax debt dating back to 1991 .

`` Due to several consecutive years -LRB- the late '80s through the mid - '90s -RRB- of negligent and gross financial mismanagement , Dionne Warwick has realized the current necessity to file personal bankruptcy , '' Warwick publicist Kevin Sasaki said in a statement to CNN Tuesday .

Warwick , 72 , made hits out of many Burt Bacharach and Hal David songs , and won five Grammys in a 50-year career . The singer is down her last $ 1,000 in cash and only owns furniture and clothing worth $ 1,500 , according to the Chapter 7 filing in New Jersey .

The bankruptcy documents filed in New Jersey on Thursday outline a sad financial situation for Warwick , a cousin of the late Whitney Houston .

Along with $ 7 million in federal IRS debt , Warwick said she owes more than $ 3 million to the state of California in franchise taxes . Another $ 500,000 is owed to a lawyer and a business manager , the filing said .

`` In light of the magnitude of her tax liabilities , Warwick has repeatedly attempted to offer repayment plans and proposals to the IRS and the California Franchise Tax Board for taxes owed , '' Sasaki said . `` These plans were not accepted , resulting in escalating interest and penalties . Although the actual amount of back taxes owed have been paid , the resulting penalties and interest has continually accrued . ''

Warwick 's total assets are worth just $ 25,500 , mostly because of two fur coats and two sets of diamond earrings valued at $ 13,000 , the documents showed . She also claimed clothing worth $ 5,000 , art worth $ 5,000 and furniture valued at $ 15,500 .

Warwick recently took a credit card debt management class , it said , perhaps relating to a $ 20,000 Visa debt .

Her monthly income was listed at $ 20,950 , although she is eligible for a pension from the SAG/AFTRA union , the filing said . Warwick listed her employment with Star Girl Productions , an entertainment management company .

She has been touring in recent months , singing her hits for fans in Europe and South America , according to her website .

Warwick 's success began in 1962 with `` Do n't Make Me Over , '' followed by 18 consecutive Top 100 singles .

Other Bacharach/David classics include `` Walk on By , '' `` Anyone Who Had a Heart , '' `` Message to Michael , '' `` Promises Promises , '' `` A House is Not a Home , '' `` Alfie , '' `` Say a Little Prayer , '' `` This Girl 's in Love With You , '' `` I 'll Never Fall in Love Again , '' `` Reach Out For Me '' and the theme from `` Valley of the Dolls . ''

`` Warwick has spent many years of her career raising funds for several humanitarian and philanthropic causes without compensation , '' Sasaki said . `` Aside from carrying the banner for world hunger , she was the first musical artist to donate all sales and proceeds from her landmark recording , ` That 's What Friends Are For ' to AIDS and The American Foundation For AIDS Research -LRB- amfAR -RRB- .
